Can u guys have a look this:

“Citizenship is membership in a political society and implies a duty of allegiance on the part of the member and a duty of protection on the part of the society.

These are reciprocal obligations, one being a compensation for the other. Under our Constitution, a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the native citizen in all respects, save that of eligibility to the Presidency. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162”

Luria v. United States, 231 US 9 - Supreme Court 1913

Here is a video of the entire event.

I was sworn in at 30:28 and testified shortly after at 40:20 but I think you should listen to whole video.

I’ve seen this posted before. We all understand that as Minor defined it, the natives (as well as the natural-born citizens) are defined as those who are born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The decision in Luria is a paraphrasing, but not very accurately.
